Conquering your emotions...

Wake up at 6:30am, kneel down on my bed.. (although i think i'm just doing this to be "holy") and pray, before i get up and fix my things.. In around 20 to 30 minutes, i'm ready to go to work. It's a continuous routine. Everyday from monday to friday. Sometimes early, most of the time late. I wonder how many people are really happy with their current jobs. I remember Dave Ramsey's preaching about money, he said grandma told him "there is a good place to go when you're broke and that is TO WORK!", well i guess not for all people.

99.9% of people i talked to don't like their bosses, their salaries, their work place and most of all their work. Well who really wants to work anyway?

Sometimes people are driven mostly by emotions, and sadly speaking even Christians are included. The good example is myself. I use to hate my boss because of... uhmmm i really don't know.. maybe because he is the boss? i don't know.

Have you ever felt the feeling of "you don't belong here"? or the feeling of "you don't exist" in the work place? ask me, i will say a big "OH YEAH". I felt it many times, and still feeling it. I hope there is a way to settle this kind of feeling.. i hope life is like the famous Facebook game "The Sims Social" where you can craft a potion, drink it and become instantly "inspired", instantly "full" or instantly "well rested".

Seriously speaking, how many of us are thankful because we have work? the answer is "few" or "None at all". I remember one of my Favorite Pinoy Pastor's preaching, "there are only two kinds of people, those who looks at life as beautiful, and those who looks at it as ugly", so no matter how you look at it, the problem is you. And i think i got the point.

My fiance just emailed me, a very inspiring email, a very unbiased and eye opening email. Though i don't want to put here all the details of her email, there is one thing i realized about her email.. "Don't be a loser".

Thank you baby for this email... it brings me back to earth.

Be thankful for everything guys... life is beautiful, let's enjoy life..
Work to live, but don't live to work.
I remember a friend's quotes from my FB. "Don't try to carpet the world, just wear slippers"

You maybe tired of your job.. just remember that there's always a person who's more than willing to take your job.

Have a blessed day! :)
